DONCASTER’S YUNGBLUD TAKES TO THE STAGE FOR ARENA SHOW
After selling over 70,000 tickets last year and featuring in a documentary by Louis Theroux, Youngblud’s 2023 tour takes to the stage at seven arenas around the UK including his biggest ever South Yorkshire show this Friday (24th Feb) at the Utilita Arena in Sheffield. Supporting Yungblud, British pop-punk band Neck Deep will be special guests.

Yungblud has undeniably become a rock ‘n’ roll pillar for Gen-Z, while harnessing support from Rock Legends such as Mick Jagger, Ozzy
Osborne, Steve Jones and Dave Grohl. Last Summer, he took to the stage for his explosive Glastonbury debut on the iconic John Peel tent.
Yungblud says can’t remember a time before music: at the age of two, he picked up a guitar from his father’s instrument shop, and from that moment, his lifelong love affair began. Born in Doncaster, Dominic Harrison began writing his own songs at 10 years old, enticed by the thrill of catharsis and self-expression he couldn’t find anywhere else. Since his self-titled debut EP in 2018, the
24-year-old’s lyrics have found universality in introspection, reckoning with sexuality, gender, class, gentrification and mental illness with disarming honesty in order to encapsulate the spirit of his generation. Throughout this tour, Yungblud will be teaming up with Show Support, to offer specialist mental health support for fans attending the concerts. The aim is to provide a safe space for fans at shows, with access to qualified mental health professionals to help with any experiences related to panic attacks, anxiety, or other mental health related concerns. Fans will be able to access this support before, during and after the shows. During the shows, a safe space, fully equipped with qualified councillors, alongside a helpdesk to answer any questions will be available. This support will expand beyond the arenas, with a dedicated email helpline being established to answer any queries related to mental health from YUNGBLUD fans before, during and after the show.
